I am very sorry to hear that. I really am sorry you have no pride in your country or home. It amazes me honestly. 4th of july is when we celebrate our independence from england, when the ideals of farmers overthrew the most powerful military power of the time. We celebrate our group mentality as a nation that we are free to live, love and be. You have a problem with Bush? Ok so our free nation is going to get rid of him. Heck in San Francisco a group is going to rename a sewage plant after him in his honor. You think other countries could get away with that? No OUR FREE NATION gives us that right to ridicule our president to no end! That is what it means to be free. That is reason to celebrate. Our privledges that is second to none is why americans were the first to fly a self powered airplane in the carolinas, the first to revolutionize personal trasportation from ford. Our flags are made in China? Many of thier crops are grown here... Consumer whores... I am sorry you feel that way. I dont know what to tell you. We have money and people like to shop. I am sorry our country has been so prosperous that our citizens have extra money to spend and free time to enjoy hobbies not required to live like golf or keeping fish... Yes it is horrible that our country has been wealthy and prosperous. Being a world leader in technological advances is horrible for our people. I am proud I live in America. I am proud that I can go to school and one semester study biology and the next study history. My friends in China do not have that opportunity. They can not study abroad. I have already studied 2x abroad because I have had opportunities to, by winning scholarships to study in Japan and France. Sure we have problems but the fact that we CAN do something about our political or social issues is why we celebrate the 4th. That we have the OPPORTUNITY and RIGHT to change the way we think, act, vote, believe and behave... I love this Country and Proud to be American.

I am Proud to be American because of all the opportunities I have had and been able to take advantage of. Here is a land where anything is possible!

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY! What makes YOU proud to be AMERICAN? Share with everyone as we all celebrate this wonderful day!

one ten, a twenty, two thirties. someone already wanted the 30 long. stands for the 30 & ten. i believe a 20 will fit on the 10 stand. i have bulbs for all the tanks. and for a 55 gal

hey yall, long time no see. i need to empty everything. i got accepted to wuhan university in central china. now i have to raise funds to pay for it. as i will not be using any of this stuff for years might as well put it to use. tanks, 10, 20, 30 & 30 gal long tanks stands for just about all of em most are over under style a have 2 boxes of fish equipment. filters, fluidized bed filters, undergavel filters, NO lights of all sizes, decorations, etc im not looking to make a lot, but i need to 1, empty the garage space to store more important stuff and 2, trying to raise whatever funds i can. i also have other non reef stuff 2 sets of golf clubs rc trainer airplane w controller & bucket of RC extras (motors, chargers, cables, etc) text books, many textbooks used at TX state for freshman classes. 512 809 2348 madison

your right. it has to be that. because all of a sudden when i click the fn+F4 the button on my hp that switches video modes. the tv will flash the computer screen for a moment before turning off then goign back to my laptop. so i know the connection goes through. i just cant figure out how to make it stay. under the display settings i can have 2 monitors. also under nvidia it can be tv + laptop screen. but so far i cant figure out how to configure the settings so it just stays up on the tv. what i do seem to of figured out is if on display settings i enable "extend desktop to this monitor" essientially 2 monitors then the video mode switch shortkey does nothing. but if i disable it then the tv will flash the desktop for a moment before flicking off then reappearing on the desktop.

so if upgrading the pump is not an option i need to make the overflow utube smaller in diameter? im thinking some teflon tape and tape up 30% of the intake end of the tube?

i had some time and i was trying to work on the computer. i found a chord in a box that is a 7-pin svideo to yellow RCA. i thought hey use the TV as second monitor. i know the quality is low but hey that would be neat. the yellow end is in the tv, plugged to the computer via 7pin conversion. turned everything on and nothing happnened. the computer worked well. the computer was working as two, i believe because the mouse scrolled right of the screen a ways then took a ways to come back. but nothing came up on the screen. not any indication that any sort of signal is comming through. i tried changing the video settings etc. i know the input works. i tried plugging in the dvd player via a 4-pin svideo to the yellow chord and it still didnt work. so im guissing its either the yellow chord or the svideo input? the tv shouldnt care what information is being sent to it? does the svideo to that yellow chord converters work? is it likely that just the yellow chord is bad? do they go bad? i tried the computer on the other input and nothing happened. anyone have ideas?

if your corals are not too sensitive ive found that keeping the tank 100% dark for 48 hours kills it. draping towels etc over it. after you weaken it vacume it up and do water change. solved my prob. but that chemi poweder does work. i should have bottle at the house if you want it. i wont be using it any time soon

the set up for my aunt runs a 55 with a sump. water to the sump is from an overflow box. i was just told that there has been problems with the sump, it keeps running dry. she adds water and in a day or two its dry again. the return for the sump is a magnum 350. today when i checked it the utube had a big bubble in it which is why no wter flowed through it. 1. why does the utube get a bubble in it? how doese that just happen? 2. could it be the 350 is pulling out faster than the utube is getting in? so i just have to add some utubes?

it is. it is sooo nice to be in the park looking at the animals without the little kids screaming at the 400 different "nemos" and such.

a bit on the older side. ive done it with the boy scouts. and i did it when i was a kid. the eldest i remember was a 16 yr old but majority is 13 under.

hey yall. because i am unable to physically keep tanks at the moment, i just plan & dream. curious however when yall choose fish for you tanks. do you ever take into concideration thier origin? like not mixing south pacific with atlantic etc? i mean i know they are mixed all the time. but does anyone attempt to not just match personalility and temp requirements but actual habitats. or is that too far?

hey yall! im workin on my aunts tank but a little problem. trying to lower the ph down to 6.0. discus. and so far its nutral. what we did was add a handful or two of that pelleted peat stuff for ponds. its working but only a little bit. does this sound like it should work? other easier ways to lower ph? i liked the peat pellets because she didnt have to mess with it.

could it be near a vent or other new piece of equipment\object that produces heat?

i just got out of the water from aquarena. because it is our school our school classes can dive there and do that course free, or part of our lab fee. it is wonderful. full full full of colorful fish, light vegitation and the hoops and such are fun to practice bouyancy control swimming through. the visibilty is great. '' thanks yall for the information.

i would honestly add more mangroves. they are REALLY REALLY slow. you could easily add another dozen trees. as far as thier nutrient export i really believe they have a noticeable affect.

anyone dive? im training for master certification. i finally own my own equipment. i would love to start diving the local waters. ive been looking for local online clubs. anyone looking for dive buddy what not? or in the least know of fun places to dive?

if the sump is too small there is a way around it. for the T back use long tubing. instead of 6 inches back to the sump, use like 10 ft coiled back to the sump. this way all the head eats up the energy. probably be a lot cheaper than building a new sump

flatworms are not bad, just kinda ugly(in some peoples eyes)

i dont know if this would work but what if you tried controlling it like you do aptiasia? take a siringe and inject it with an acid... like lemon juice? a drop in a lot of stalks i bet would kill the colony. then it would be only a slight decay factor in the way of ammonia etc. i doubt the ph of your tank would flux from a few injectiosn of lemonade.

i had the same problem. xenia just disolved in my tank. i have been told xenia does not do salinity flux at all. but i dont think purposly fluxing your salinity levels for a week is the best idea as that may hurt the other corals...

i believe even at the local chain petstore are long handelded blade cleaners. i think only 24" tho. b

its not working well? what is growin on the front that you cant control or you jsut askign if there is a better product out there?
